Maybe , but what are the alternatives ? Bachmannesque Cruz Overdrive ??

If that happens, we will have crossed the Rubio, and will dwell in the Land of Gohmert Pyle !

If by "The Best Pube 'Shooting himself in the Foot"you are referring to Our New Jersey Governor Chris Christie,

Allow my to repost my previous retort as to his character many people were CONNED INTObelieving this SoB is in ANY WAY Either "Moderate" OR "Bi-Partisan"

What he is is "Cagey" Very Smart, but in a BAD Way.

Why do I bring this up?

Well, we had NOTHING (not even therapy) to do for 2 daysbut to Stare At the TV watching images of MAYOR BOOKERLiterally Shoveling Snow for his elderly neighbors......while NJ Governor Chris Cristie (and family) wereliving-it-up @ Disney World, FLORIDA... ...uncomfortably reminiscent of the images of GDUBYAduring "Katrina"

...anyway... it was a Herculean feat to clear that muchsnow from a densely populated inner-city like Newark...but once the Emergency Vehicles got dug out everythingeventually came back on line (much to the "RELIEF" ofof the over-worked hospital staff...)

...but like I said... Not Something I'll Soon Forget.

Ah....Yes...."The HUG SEEN 'ROUND The WORLD"

Christie has had his "Eyes On the Prize" all along!

After that snow storm (see spoiler) he knew it wasslipping from his grasp since he was painfullyaware of what it did to Bush's Approval Rating...

As much as it pains me to be so cynical......

"Super-Storm Sandy" was a Lucky Break for Christie(or as we say in 'Jersey... "He Stepped In Shyte!")It gave him the (Photo-)OPportunity to vindicate himselfby Pulling Another Chris Christie OVER-THE-TOP SHOW ((We're used to his Showmanship here :rolleyes:))

Obama showing up (right on cue) was a BONUS......that he was savvy enough to recognize how theMEDIA Hyped It...and just Quik Enough to see what APPEARING To Be Seen As BI-PARTISAN could Potentially DO FOR HIS RUN IN 2016 <---------->

Likewise... I reckon the GOP recognize how the TPhas been pulling them down, and their time is up. The only function they have left to serve is toBE SO GD EXTREME That Most Right-Wingers, Some of the "Undecided"(fence-sitters), and enough of theSame Haters that Hated a Black PotUS will also voteagainst ANY WOMAN, will Jump Straight Into the ARMS of The NEW MODERATE 2X Governor Chris Christie.

Okay, so can anybody explain simply in a couple of sentences or less, and without having to watch an hour of video or read pages of a recap of what happened and who it affected, what he had against Fort Lee, why did he do it.

Okay, so can anybody explain simply in a couple of sentences or less, and without having to watch an hour of video or read pages of a recap of what happened and who it affected, what he had against Fort Lee, why did he do it.

As I understand it:

-- Christie in a reelection bid

-- Mayor of Ft. Lee declines to endorse Christie for reelection

-- In retaliation (so the story goes), Christie aides, who apparently have influence with the NJ transit authority -- in this case, specifically the authority controlling the George Washington Bridge (which is in Ft. Lee and is the busiest bridge in the world) -- caused four of the five lanes of bridge traffic to be blocked for four consecutive days.

The perp, David Wildstein, has a long history of vindictive behavior, and he and Christie were HS chums. Within his repertoire of revenge tactics is buying up web domains based on the names of whomever pissed him off and then redirecting those urls to websites that would annoy, harm, or discredit his victim. For example, he did just that to the reporter that broke the story (and has been developing it ever since) and redirected the URL to a competing newspaper.

There's no proof yet that Christie was hands-on and he's denied being aware of what his people were up to. We'll see where that lands. But there's little doubt that His Guvness created an environment within his administration that at best encouraged such behavior, and at worst, enabled it. Pretty sleazy no matter how you slice it.
